Scientific paper
We use a new geometric construction, grope splitting, to give a sharp bound
for separation of surfaces in 4-manifolds. We also describe applications of
this technique in link-homotopy theory, and to the problem of locating
pi_1-null surfaces in 4-manifolds. In our applications to link-homotopy, grope
splitting serves as a geometric substitute for the Milnor group.
